From the Westchester Sfiy. TO THE EVENING STAR. 'Tis night, deep night, each star that gleams From out yon vault of azure seems Like a pure spirit left to roam Unshackled thro its spangled home. I gare upon them and I feel A thirst for brighter blessedness Than these dull scenes of life reveal

V These scenes of danger and distress, V And long to fly unbounded and free, Q Upward to thee, bright star, to thee. Thou hast a look of boundless joy Beyond care's efforts to destroy; As if the soul that drank thy fire Might live forever, nor expire As we die here; unloved and lone, The victims of our passions' chain, Where hearts all beat as cold as stone, And loving once, love not again Yes, in thy light our souls would shine As if thy beams made them divine. Thy golden light so soft and clear, Sent down our tortured hearts to cheer; Is, like the smiles of seraphs: lent To banish care and discontent, We look on thee till we are lost

To this earth's cheerless, hopless scene, i in we iorget now tempest tost Our life's frail bark has ever been; And in our dreams of thy purest bliss Learn to forget our wretchedness. And then I think if I could be Linked in a deathless destiny With one bright spirit pure and fair, One that could match thy brightness there, That I could roam the golden fields And taste with her thy blessedness, And gather all the joy that yields Abalm to sanctify and bless; O couW I make her all my own. And make thy light her spotless throne. P c. FALL OF JERUSALEM. The fall of our illustrious and happy citY was supernatural. The destruction of tho conquered was against the first principles of the Roman policy ; and to the last hour of our national existence, Rome held out offers of peace, and lamented our frantic despotism to be undone. But the decree was gone forth from a mightier throne. During the latter days of the siege of hostility to which that of a man was as a grain of sand to the tempest that drives it on, over powered our trengthand senses. Fearful shapes and voices in the air visions startling us from cur short and troublesome sleep lunacy in its hideous forms sudden death in the midst of vigor the fury of the elements let loose upon our heads. We had everv terror and evil that could beset hu man nature, but pestilence, tho most probablo of all, in a city crowded with the famishing, the diseased, he wounded, and the dead. Yet though the stree's were covered with unburied, though every well and trench was teeming, though lix hundred thousand corpses lay flung over the ramparts, and lay naked to the s un, pestilence came not for if it had come, the enemi would have been scared away. But "the abominable desolation,1' the Pao-an standard, was to remain until the plough had passed over the ruins of Jerusalem. On the fatal night no man laid his head upon the pillow. Heaven and earth were in conflict. Meteors burned over us the ground shook under our feet the volcanoes blazed the wind burst forth in irresistible blasts, and swept the living and the dead in w hirlwinds far into the desert. We heard the bellowing of the distant Mediterranean, as if its waters were at our sides, swelled by the deluge. The lakes and rivers roared and inundated the land. The fiery sword shot out ten fold fire showers of blood fell thunder pealed from every quarter of the heavens lightning, in immense sheets, of an intensity andduration that turned the darkness into more than day, withering eye and soul, burned from the'zenith to the ground, and marked its track by forests of flame, and shattered the summits of the hills. Defence was unthought of, for the mortal cnemy had passed from the mind. Our hearts quaked for fear; but it was to see the powers of heaven shaken. All cast away the shield and spear, and crouched before the descending judgment. We were conscience smitten. Our cries of remorse, anguish, and horror, were heard through the uproar of the etorm. We howled to caverns to hide us. We plunged into the sepulchres to escape the wrath that consumed the living. I knew the cause the unspeakable cause, and knew that the last hour of crime was I at hand. A few fugitives, astonished to see enc man among them not sunk into the lowest feebleness of fear, came around me, and be sought me to lead them to some place of safety, if such wcro now to be found on earth. I told them openlv that they were to die in tho hallowed ground of the Temple. They followed ; and I led through streets encumbered with every shape of human sufferings, to tho foot of Mount Moriah; but beyond that, we found advance im'possible. Piles of clouds whose darkness was palpable even in tho midnight in which wo stood covered the holy hill. Impatient, and not to bo daunted by any thing that man could over come, I cheered my disheartened band, and attempted to lead the way

up the ascenti; but I had scarcely entered

me cioua wnen i was swept aown oy a gust that tore the rocks in a flinty show er around me. Now came the last and most won derful sign that marked the fate of reject ed Israel. While I Jay helpless, I heard the roaring whirlwind through the cloudy hill and vapor began to revolve. A pale ngni, line mai oi ine rising moon, quivereu on the edges of the horizon, and the clouds ! t I'l .1 I 1 I rose rapidly, shaping themselves into the forms of battlements and towers. The sound of voices was heard within, low and distinct, vet strangely sweet. Still the . . l . i 1 .i . .. i.-u: lustre brightened, and the airy building rose, tower on tower, and battlement on battlement, in awe that held us mute. W e knelt and gazed on the more than mor tal architecture, that continued rising, and cnrnaHinrr ,V it rui-mrr with n cprpnpr 1 1 rrhtstill soft and silvery, yet to which the broadest moonlight was dim. At last, it stood forth to earth andtoeaven, the colossal imae of the first tempK of the building raised by the wisest or men, and con secrated by the visible elorv. All Jerusalem saw the image, and the shout that in the midst of their despair as cended from the thousands and tens of thousands, told what proud remembrances were there. But a hymn was heard tljat might have hushed the world besides.-v Never fell on my ears, never on human! sense, a sound so majestic, yet so subduing so full of melancholy, yet of grandeur and command. Ihe vast portal opened, and from it marched a host, such as man had never seen before, such as man shall never see but once again the guardian angels of the city of David. They came forth gloriously, but woe in all their steps the stars unon their hclmets dim their robes stained tears flowing down their celestial beauty. uLct us go hence!" was the song of sorrow. "Let us go hence P was, answered by sad echoes ot the mountains. "Let us go hence swelled upon the night to the furthermost limits of the land. The procession lingered long upon the summit of the hill. The thunders pealed, and they rose at the command, diffusing waves of light over the expanse of heaven, I he chorus was heard, still magnificent and melancholy, when their splendo was diminished to the brightness ot a star. Then the thunder roared again the clou dy Temple was scattered on the wind and darkness, the omen of the grave, set tled upon Jerusalem. Crolys Salathicl. From the BelVs Weekly Magazine A GOOD STORY. One seldom hears a good story now days; the following is not bad. A year or two ago there came to the Lion Inn, at , a pleasant looking, bustly, greatcoated, commercial travelling sort of body. "Well landlord, what have you got, rump-steak, eh? Oyster-sauce, eh? Bottle of cherry, good, eh? Send 'em up'. Dinner was served, the wine despatched, and a glass of brandy and water comfortably settled the dinner. "Vaiter,v said the traveller, coolly and dispationately , wiping his mouth with a napkin, "waiter 1 am awkwardly situated.' 'Sir! ' said the waiter expecting a love 16110 4 cannot pay you.' V 'Sorry for that; I must call masterEnter landlord. 'My good sir, you see this is rather awkward good dinner! capital dinner! famous wine ! glorious grog ! but no cash.' The landlord looked blue. 'No difference to you of course pleasant house here plenty of business happy to take your order long credit good bills.' 'There is my bill, sir prompt payment I pay as I go.' 'Ah, but I must go without paying. Let us see bill, 17s. Gd. let us have a pint cherry together - -make it up a pound that will square it.' .

'None of that, sir, it wont do with me pay me my money, or Til kick you out.' The srtanger remonstrated the landlord 'kicked him out. 'You will repent this,' said the stranger. Three weeks after that day, punctual to his word, the stranger entered the Lion Inn the landlord looked very foolish the stranger smiled, and held out his hand 'I have come to pay my score as I ppomiseu.' The landlord made a thousand apologies for his rudeness. 'So many swindlers about, there's no knowing whom to trust. 'Never mind, landlord; but come, let's have some dinner together let us be friends. What have you got, he? A couple of boiled fowls, eh? nice little ham of your own curing? good! greens from your garden? famous! bottle of cherry and two bottles oi port; waiter, this is cellent.
